Chitinase genes in olive tree (Olea europaea L.): evolutionary dynamics and stress–responsive regulation
Background: ) in olive tree can contribute to develop new strategies for a sustainable disease management. Results: -regulatory elements associated with stress responses and hormone signaling pathways. Conclusions: Collectively, our study improved knowledge on the olive tree chitinase gene family, thus providing a valuable foundation for future strategies aimed at improving fungal disease resistance in olive tree.
